Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) - Long COVID
A study shows that the long-covid is associated with reactivated EBV. Let’s understand EBV and infectious mononucleosis today. We will continue with the serology the next time, and finally discuss the study.

Excellent lecture Dr Been! Is it possible some of the Epstein Barr infected B-Cells that are latent in the bone marrow travel to the thyroid and trigger autoimmunity?

Thank you for the best explanation of EBV mechanisms ever. This alone, should cause much more questionings of "What are we looking at"? When treating patients with chronic syndromes and knowing that EBV can lead to ...even CA, should we find better treatments, preventions of activations studies such as use of Quercetin?
